The Department of State Services says its operatives have disrupted an alleged arms supply network linked to attacks in Plateau State and neighbouring areas, arresting a suspected arms dealer.
Disclosing this in a statement on Sunday, the secret police said the suspect allegedly manufactured and distributed weapons and ammunition to armed groups operating in Plateau and other northern states.
The suspect was nabbed on November 12, 2025, following intelligence that led operatives to his workshop in the Mista Ali area of Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.
DSS operatives were said to have recovered components of improvised explosive devices, chemicals and equipment from the location.
